Combination Knife Sets
There is a great thread on vintage tool and eating sets started by M.B., but I didn't see one for knife sets which could include knife/knife, knife/axe, or knife/saw combinations.
Enclosed are a few examples which include a Henckels Hunting sword (Hirschfanger) which has a small fixed blade knife that tucks into the sheath just above the acorn. This was a fairly common combination with these types of German hunting swords.
The second group is an Imperial set which featured two knives in one sheath, and a third folding fishing model as shown.
Please add on what you have.

Re: Combination Knife Sets
Thanks guys. btrwtr and K7K, your examples are both unique and great to see. It would be interesting to know how many different companies made knife/axe combinations.
Here is a double knife set by Boker. Western and others offered sets like these as well.

Re: Combination Knife Sets
I've coveted the Case Twin Finn for many years. I don't jump on one because I'm afraid my imagination won't hold up to reality. Now one of those Western or Ka-Bar sets...........
I only have two and the first one may not even fit into this thread. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll delete it.

Wasn't there a similar set to your pliers set that had a heavy duty scissors and knife?

I don't recall seeing anything like that but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Re: Combination Knife Sets
It's a whole new genre of collecting. (Well maybe not for you guys but for me...) And to have them unused in the original boxes? That's really something. A huge accomplishment.

Re: Combination Knife Sets
M.B., Great "BIG 3" set, and I love the graphics.
And Scout Knives, fantastic top notch Remington and Pal sets!!! What are the ages of the two?
Thanks all for contributions and comments.
Colonial made a sheath knife and folding camp knife set similar to Imperial, but this is the only large and small sheath knife set that I have seen.

Re: Combination Knife Sets
The Remington set dates from 1934-39 and the Pal set I'm guessing 1940-45

Re: Combination Knife Sets
Man, this is a fantastic thread - I'm also amazed that the boxes and packaging are in such fine shape - if I'd gotten one of those sets as a Boy Scout I'd been out in the yard in five minutes using that cool stuff!! OH
